格林多前书 16

1Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.

2On the first day of the week let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him; that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.

3And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.

4And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.

5Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.

6And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.

7For I will not see you now by the way, for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.

8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

9For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.

10Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

11Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren.

12And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand, that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.

13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened.

14Let all your things be done in charity.

15And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:

16That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.

17And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.

18For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.

19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge.

20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

21The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.

22If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.

23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

24My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

1De collectis autem, quæ fiunt in sanctos, sicut ordinavi ecclesiis Galatiæ, ita et vos facite.

2Per unam sabbati unusquisque vestrum apud se seponat, recondens quod ei bene placuerit: ut non, cum venero, tunc collectæ fiant.

3Cum autem præsens fuero, quos probaveritis per epistolas, hos mittam perferre gratiam vestram in Jerusalem.

4Quod si dignum fuerit ut et ego eam, mecum ibunt.

5Veniam autem ad vos, cum Macedoniam pertransiero: nam Macedoniam pertransibo.

6Apud vos autem forsitan manebo, vel etiam hiemabo: ut vos me deducatis quocumque iero.

7Nolo enim vos modo in transitu videre, spero enim me aliquantulum temporis manere apud vos, si Dominus permiserit.

8Permanebo autem Ephesi usque ad Pentecosten.

9Ostium enim mihi apertum est magnum, et evidens: et adversarii multi.

10Si autem venerit Timotheus, videte ut sine timore sit apud vos: opus enim Domini operatur, sicut et ego.

11Ne quis ergo illum spernat: deducite autem illum in pace, ut veniat ad me: exspecto enim illum cum fratribus.

12De Apollo autem fratre vobis notum facio, quoniam multum rogavi eum ut veniret ad vos cum fratribus: et utique non fuit voluntas ut nunc veniret: veniet autem, cum ei vacuum fuerit.

13Vigilate, state in fide, viriliter agite, et confortamini.

14Omnia vestra in caritate fiant.

15Obsecro autem vos fratres, nostis domum Stephanæ, et Fortunati, et Achaici: quoniam sunt primitiæ Achaiæ, et in ministerium sanctorum ordinaverunt seipsos:

16ut et vos subditi sitis ejusmodi, et omni cooperanti, et laboranti.

17Gaudeo autem in præsentia Stephanæ, et Fortunati, et Achaici: quoniam id, quod vobis deerat, ipsi suppleverunt:

18refecerunt enim et meum spiritum, et vestrum. Cognoscite ergo qui hujusmodi sunt.

19Salutant vos ecclesiæ Asiæ. Salutant vos in Domino multum, Aquila et Priscilla cum domestica sua ecclesia: apud quos et hospitor.

20Salutant vos omnes fratres. Salutate invicem in osculo sancto.

21Salutatio, mea manu Pauli.

22Si quis non amat Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, sit anathema, Maran Atha.

23Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi vobiscum.

24Caritas mea cum omnibus vobis in Christo Jesu. Amen.

1Now concerning the collections which are made for the saints: just as I have arranged for the churches of Galatia, so should it also be done with you.

2On the first day of the week, the Sabbath, let each one of you take from himself, setting aside what will be well-pleasing to him, so that when I arrive, the collections will not have to be made then.

3And when I am present, whomever you shall approve through letters, these I shall send to bear your gifts to Jerusalem.

4And if it is fitting for me to go too, they shall go with me.

5Now I will visit you after I have passed through Macedonia. For I will pass through Macedonia.

6And perhaps I will stay with you, and even spend the winter, so that you may lead me on my way, whenever I depart.

7For I am not willing to see you now only in passing, since I hope that I may remain with you for some length of time, if the Lord permits.

8But I must remain at Ephesus, even until Pentecost.

9For a door, great and unavoidable, has opened to me, as well as many adversaries.

10Now if Timothy arrives, see to it that he may be among you without fear. For he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I also do.

11Therefore, let no one despise him. Instead, lead him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me. For I am awaiting him with the brothers.

12But concerning our brother, Apollo, I am letting you know that I pleaded with him greatly to go to you with the brothers, and clearly it was not his will to go at this time. But he will arrive when there is a space of time for him.

13Be vigilant. Stand with faith. Act manfully and be strengthened.

14Let all that is yours be immersed in charity.

15And I beg you, brothers: You know the house of Stephanus, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints.

16So you should be subject also to persons such as this, as well as to all who are cooperating and working with them.

17Now I rejoice in the presence of Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because what was lacking in you, they have supplied.

18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore, recognize persons such as this.

19The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you greatly in the Lord, with the church of their household, where I also am a guest.

20All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21This is a greeting from my own hand, Paul.

22If anyone does not love our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema! Maran Atha.

23May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

24My charity is with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
